RIDERS
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THESE RIDERS
South Africa now boasts some of the best Enduro riders in the world, many of whom will be participating at the Rand Show 2015 event.
There’s Wade Young, considered one of the top five extreme enduro riders in the world. He’s a three-time SA Enduro champion, two-time winner of the Roof of Africa off-road motorcycle race, and was a podium finisher at the 2014 Red Bull Romaniacs Hard Enduro Rally. Young dominated last year’s SuperEnduro Series and will be looking to retain his crown at the first event at the Rand Show.
Altus de Wet is a multiple South African Enduro champion and former runner-up in the Roof of Africa off-road motorcycle race. He has comprehensive international top-10 experience and is looking forward to battling it out with his rivals in this year’s series.
Brian Capper has been crowned SA Supermoto champion no fewer than 10 times, and is one of the most talented riders in the country. He’s hungry for gold in this event and is set to give it his all. (And when he’s not on the SuperEnduro track, he’ll be wow-ing Rand Show visitors in Hall 5 with his Xtreme Riding Xhibitions, at 11h00 and 15h00 every day from 3–6 April and 11–12 April.)
Finally, youngsters Brett Swanepoel, Travis Teasdale and Ross Blackwell will also be back to fight for the top step, along with many other fast riders, who all have a shot at climbing onto the podium.

TESTIMONIALS
“Going into the Insurance Zone Super Enduro at the Rand Show is another big first for me. I’m super excited and nervous about the course. A lot of those obstacles I’ve never seen before or ridden over so it’s definitely going to be a weekend of learning! I don’t any expectations other than to learn and to improve over the weekend. And to have fun of course! Can’t wait to race already...”
Richie van der Westhuizen
“The Super Enduro series is what we really need here in South Africa. It's good fun for the riders, it tests us physically, mentally and the bikes abilities. It's great for spectators and just another good excuse to ride your dirt bike.”
